History NightmareFuel / Brave

** The moment where Elinor accidentally catches Merida with her claws, you can just see the horror as she realizes what she's done, even as Merida is frantically trying to cover the scratches and insists it's nothing. (In retrospect, that sounds horribly like a fully-human parent realizing they've become abusive.)

* Mor'du roaring down right on Merida in the climax. Just imagine it. Nearly a ton of killing machine towering over you, roaring barely inches from your face, its roar shaking your very core and bones and will likely kill you and devour you and there's nothing you can do about it. Absolutely nothing except scream.

* The scene in the abandoned castle. It plays out like a scene out of a horror movie. Merida comes to a horrible realization from a stone engraving with one part sliced out of it that splits one person out of the picture (there's a brief horrible glimpse of the person chopping at the engraving with an axe and he has the head of Mor'du) that [[spoiler:the prince from the legend is Mor'du]] and then [[OhCrap we see]] [[RightBehindMe Mor'du appearing behind Merida.]]

** Imagine how terrifying this scene is for poor Elinor. Her daughter is trapped right below her with [[TheDreaded Mor'du]]. All while [[AdultFear she is helpless to protect her because she can't fit down the hole.]]

** And then you see the actual Mor'du. They toned him down a lot for the trailer. Let's see. Instead of glowing yellow eyes, we have a glowing [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eye]]. He's got a huge hump of scar tissue from which protrudes arrows, knives, and even swords, trophies from those that tried to kill him and failed. Even his fur is scarier, going from long and flowing to chopped up. The worst part is that the trailer implies that Merida will shoot him. In the film, all her arrows do is lure him towards her without any noticeable hesitation at all. The only thing that hurts this monster down at all is [[spoiler:Bear!Elinor, and even then she had to drop a multi-ton rock on him to end him.]]

** And during this scene, you start to notice bone scattered throughout the hallway. Bones from his previous kills, human included.

** Scenes include Wisps luring Merida into the dark forest, Merida exploring some creepy old ruins including a broken tomb and bones covering the floor, and trying to escape an angry Mor'du.

* The ''gigantic'' [[EverythingsWorseWithBears bear]], [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Mordu.]] in the trailer, with its glowing yellow eyes.
* Parts of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zzSqWUmlts&feature=youtu.be Japanese Trailer]] implying ''why'' it's called "Merida and the [[DontGoInTheWoods Forest of Fear]]" over there.
